Moreover, we found that INHBA up-regulation was associated with lymph node metastasis (N+) (odds ratio 5.6; 95% confidence interval 1.5 to 21.8; p-value = 0.012), as well as SERPINA3 down-regulation (odds ratio 4.0; 95% confidence interval 1.0 to 15.4; p-value = 0.044) (Table 4). This evidence concerns the gene SERPINA3 and metastatic malignant neoplasm in the lymph nodes.
